Sterling held slope resistance for more than three-weeks with a defense of support this week attempting to mark an outside-weekly reversal candle. The advance is testing resistance today at the 2022 swing high near 1.3749 and the focus is on the weekly close with respect to this pivot zone.
Initial weekly support now rests with the June opening-range highs near 1.3633 and is backed by the 78.6 % retracement of the 2021 decline at 1.3414. Broader bullish invalidation now raised to the April high-week close (HWC) at 1.3270- losses below this threshold would suggest a more significant high is in place / a larger reversal is underway towards the 2023 HWC at 1.3092.
A breach / weekly close above 1.3749 is needed to keep the immediate advance viable with subsequent resistance objectives eyed at the 61.8% extension of the 2022 advance at 1.4003 and the 2021 HWC at 1.4158- both levels of interest for possible topside exhaustion / price inflection IF reached.
Bottom line: A breakout of the monthly opening-range takes GBP/USD into initial resistance at the 2022 swing highs with weekly momentum pressing into overbought territory today. From at trading standpoint, a good zone to reduce portions of long-exposure / raise protective stops- losses would need to be limited to 1.3632 IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above 1.3749 needed to mark uptrend resumption.
